  So this book is a follow up to the New York Times bestseller "How to Hang a Witch", which I haven't read, but after finishing this one, I'm so looking forward to it. This book is about a girl named Samantha ( Sam ), who is having nightmares every night about the Titanic and walking along the ship with the other passengers. She soon finds that she's even seeing some of the things from her dreams in her everyday life. Sam, with the help of the cutie Elijah and the Descendants, has to find out who has put this evil curse on her and how to stop it ASAP. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and will have you craving more even at the end. This is a great book and you can get it now on Amazon for Kindle or in hardcover by clicking the link below!

Revlon PhotoReady Face Products

So these are the new Revlon PhotoReady face products! I received this stuff FREE from Crowdtap to try and give my honest opinion. I like each one of the products differently for different reasons so I'm going to break it down :)

Revlon PhotoReady Insta-Filter Foundation - This foundation has great coverage and will take care of the freckles, blemishes, and red spots, but I HATE the sponge on top of the bottle. Yes it blends well and is soft, but I feel like most of the foundation is getting absorbed into the sponge making this foundation really expensive for my taste

Revlon PhotoReady Prep Set Refresh Mist - This mist is so refreshing and can be used to refresh makeup, prime your face before makeup, and set the makeup so it will last longer. The mist on this is so light with a very light scent but actually gets onto the skin and you can feel it. I use two circular motions on my face before and after applying makeup. The best thing about this stuff is that you can feel it but not see it :)

Revlon PhotoReady Color Correcting Pen - This pen has a tiny little brush that the liquid twists up into. DON"T BE SURPRISED, the liquid is green and goes on that color. This product blends into the skin really well and goes from green to a clay skin color and really does work for blemishes and under the eye area.

Revlon PhotoReady Galaxy Dream Palette - This palette is the best highlighting palette especially for women who love to do selfies...but don't forget to use the flash. Yes, this palette is great at doing a subtle highlight on your face but to really see it, I had to be outside in the sun or use the flash on my camera. This powder is holographic and really shows it's color when it catches light. Detailed instructions on how to apply are on the back of the palette under the label.

Below are links to purchase each product on Ulta and thank you for reading!

Loreal Paris 14 Day Revitalift Challenge

My mother shared this with me and I saw it as a win win situation so I'm doing it. So Loreal Paris is giving away FREE Revitalift Triple Power Intensive Anti-Aging Day Cream Moisturizer. Each sheet contains enough cream to use morning and night for 14 days. I took a before picture when I started this challenge and am so excited to see if there's any change. So far I've been using this stuff morning and night for about 4 days and I can feel a difference and see a slight difference in my complexion. The moisturizer is white and creamy with a wonderful fresh scent. I have problems with oily skin and was worried that this might make me break out, but it hasn't so far. The cream is so silky. Every time I put it on, I can instantly see a healthy glow on my face. I love this so far and cannot wait to take my after picture so I can see the difference. I'll be updating this post in about 10 days with the after picture so please stay tuned if you want to see if this product TRULY works :)

A Well-Crafted Home

a well-crafted home

Janet Crowther

Being someone who LOVES to decorate and rearrange my home, but is also on a budget, this book is totally for me. This book has 213 pages full of wonderful ideas for anyone. My favorites, and some I've even done, is the natural wood stump in my bathroom and the gemstone box. I love that the projects are so easy, detailed, and that I can use new material or I can go to the thrift store to find more vintage looking materials. Each project has a brief description, a list of needed materials, step by step instructions, and a picture of what your finished product should look like. The projects range from antique and country to modern and whimsical. I just love this book and think anyone that loves to do DIY projects or decorate will love it to. I've included a link to the product on the bottom of this post so that you can check it out on Amazon. This book is available on Kindle or paperback :)

SK-II Brightening Derm Revival Mask

  This is the brightening derm revival mask by SK-II. I got a box of 10 masks and use about one a week. This mask is supposed to brighten your skin and well as lock in moisture and hydration for a radiant glow. I notice a HUGE difference after using one of these masks a week for about a month. The mask is kinda gooey when it comes out and you just put the eye part on first and then smooth out the rest to cover your face. I leave mine on for 15 minutes and then take it off and massage the remaining gel left on my face into my skin. It kinda leaves a warm sticky feeling after taking it off but soon goes away. This mask is PERFECT for people with a dull complexion and dry skin.

Brawl in Cell Block 99

       
                                                                Brawl in Cell Block 99

  Vince Vaughn plays an old redneck retired boxer with a wife. They run into a shit storm of bad luck so he turns to drug running and of course ends up in prison with an ultimatum of loosing his wife and unborn baby or serving life in prison. I've never seen Vaughn play a roll like this and as a 32 year old female, I fell in love with Brad-LY! The fights scenes end in some pretty gruesome beatings/deaths....I mean GRUESOME. There's no nudity but the language and fight scenes might not be suitable for kids. Overall, GREAT love/action/comedy/thriller!

The Hatred

                                                                           Rated R

  This movie was not at all what I thought it would be based on the presentation of the cover and the trailer I watched, but it does have a decent story line and some "On the edge of your seat" moments. The father, who is German, is really overbearing with his teenage daughter and ends up hurting her. The movie then jumps to present day with a group of girls who go to stay the weekend at the old farmhouse. Other than the few references to drugs and language, I don't know why this is rated R honestly.

What We See In The Stars

                                By: Kelsey Oseid

 I love this book! I'm not really the type that's into the constellations or the Solar System, but I found this book to be VERY easy to read and even understand with the illustrated pictures. It covers lots of interesting topics such as planets, animals and mythical creatures, the Milky Way, and deep space to name a few. After reading this I honestly wanted to go out and get a telescope. I mean, did anyone else ever know there was a unicorn constellation named Monoceros? This is a really interesting little book crammed full of fun, interesting, and cool information. Below is a link to check out and even buy this book on Amazon, hardcover or Kindle, if you like what you see. I really enjoyed it and I think most anyone aged from 11 and up will. Thanks for reading!
